I have been informed that this is wrong, bats will turn whichever way they want. I don’t know where I originally read it, but now I am very sorry to have propagated a falsehood.

“Hos super advenit Volsca de gente Camilla agmen agens equitum et florentis aere catervas, bellatrix, non illa colo calathisve Minervae femineas adsueta manus, sed proelia virgo dura pati cursuque pedum praevertere ventos. - Besides these came Camilla of the Volscian gens, leading a column of cavalry and a company blooming with bronze, a shieldmaiden; not suited was she to the distaff or wool-baskets of Minerva, women’s work, but a maiden steeled to endure battle, and with the motion of her feet, to outrun the winds.”

— Vergil, Aeneid 7.803-7

Wait so is Bellatrix … Mean a shield maiden?

yes, it means female warrior :)
